TAll ribbon palm, very similar in adult appearance to Livinstona decipiens. This plant is a good and dependable grower in most areas of So Cal and is fairly rapid (not as fast as L decipiens, but close). Has very deeply split leaves that hang in 'ribbons' on adult plants. Petioles have deep red-brown coloration at their bases making them look a bit different than L decipiens. Very sharply armed petioles- careful when pruning. Leaf bases near base of tree tend to be retained as in some other LIvistona species. An Australian native
